Opened this bottle to celebrate Mother's Day during the Circuit Breaker with food ordered from Famous Treasure. A bottle from yesteryear and we had sweet and sour pork with pineapple, sliced fish with preserved vegetables, sour and spicy soup, stir fried romaine lettuce with prawn sauce, and wok-fried sliced beef with black bean sauce.
Pale gold in colour with citrus goodness and some fine chewy acidic 'bubbles.' Tired fumes with aged petroleum filled the nose and palate. Like most well-made white wines, moving past the 10 year mark the wine has probably reached its 'mid-life' stage and will be subject to more changes ahead.
On a side-note, German Rieslings probably belong to a breed of white wines which can age very well and am looking forward to opening more aged ones.
